Spring beauty picks from House of Fraser
I have to admit that I tend to keep the same style of make up all year round, which can get a bit dull. I usually either wear a really natural look with shades of golds and nudes or a more dramatic look with more colourful options particularly for eye shadow such as blues and purples. It’s nice to shake it up a bit when a new season arrives and so I have spent some time recently browsing House of Fraser the hopes of getting inspired for Spring. Here are my top picks:
I am really dull when it comes to lipstick and I’d love to be more adventurous. When browsing House of Fraser’s Lipstick section I discovered this Urban Decay Gwen Stefani Lipstick, one of a range of lipsticks made in collaboration with singer-songwriter Gwen Stefani which comes in six fantastic vibrant colours. My favourite has to be Rock Steady which is a bold red, perfect for a Summer party or BBQ. I have worn Urban Decay make up for many years, before they became famous for their Naked palettes, and can always rely on them to have some fabulous colours to fit my natural or my more colourful look.
This season is perfect for breaking out metallic, pastel and nude shades for eyeshadows. I have my eye on the Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick in Rose which has five lovely metallic shades which can be used to create on-trend rose gold looks. My other pick is the Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess Summer Glow EyeShadow Palette which has an amazing surprise pop of turquoise to contrast the other five golden hues.
If you want to complete your look with a healthy looking glow then you can’t beat a good blusher or bronzer. I like the look of the Benefit Cheekathon Palette which is exclusive to House of Fraser with a combination of full sized blushers and bronzers with a soft, natural-bristle powder brush so you can mix and match for your perfect look. I have never tried a stick blush but am curious about the The Multiple from NARS which can be used not only on the face but eyes, cheeks, lips and body to create shimmering accents, contours or highlights.
What’s more refreshing than a new make up bag? I tend to use the same old bag to hold my cosmetics and it’s time to think about cheering the place up a bit with something new for Spring. Ted Baker is great for make up bags bursting with colour perfect for the season. I really love the Kizzy Light Pink Floral Cosmetic Bag which is so pretty with it’s pastel flower design and also a great size! I am also a huge fan of Radley and think that the Botanical Multi Coloured Large Zip Cosmetic Case is perfect for Spring!
